In the summer‚ the Reds splashed out well over £400million on new talent‚ with Alexander Isak (£125m) and Florian Wirtz (£116m) costing over £100m each and the likes of Hugo Ekitike (£79m) and Milos Kerkez (£40m) also coming through the door.

Man United player ratings: Harry Maguire the hero with winning goal & rock-solid display vs Liverpool
NATHAN SALT: Manchester United won back to back league games for the first time under Ruben Amorim as they stunned arch rivals Liverpool at Anfield. Harry Maguire's second half header was the difference and Liverpool now find themselves engulfed in a crisis after four straight defeats. Amorim's team selection raised eyebrows with Leny Yoro and Benjamin Sesko dropping out‚ but it was the Portuguese head coach who had the last laugh after masterminding a first league win at Anfield since 2016. Daily Mail Sport's NATHAN SALT gives his verdict on how both sets of players stacked up at Anfield.
Sir Alex Ferguson stood in the Main Stand at Anfield at half time‚ wearing a broad smile. The former Manchester United manager has not had much to celebrate at the home of his old enemy for the last ten years but now‚ with his old team a goal up and looking good‚ he held a bag of chocolates in his hand and offered one to the gentleman next to him‚ who happened to be Sir Kenny Dalglish. As an image of the what happened here on a blustery‚ squally afternoon by the banks of the River Mersey‚ a symbol of how United found an echo of their former glories and transformed their miserable fortunes by winning at this ground for the first time in nearly a decade‚ it took some beating. Then again‚ the sight of Harry Maguire‚ a yeoman centre half who seems to have been written off‚ mocked and derided for his limitations since the day he arrived at Old Trafford‚ rising to score United's late winner and seal a 2-1 victory that condemned Liverpool to their fourth successive defeat ran it close.
Manchester United players were full of congratulations for one another after ending their 10-year wait for a Premier League win at Anfield‚ as cameras showed the jubilant scenes inside the away dressing room. Ruben Amorim 's side beat Liverpool 2-1 to claim their first victory on the ground since January 2016‚ moving within two points of the defending champions. It was a result built on early aggression and late resilience. Bryan Mbeumo struck after just 62 seconds before Harry Maguire 's 84th-minute header settled a breathless contest.

Man United 's recent trips to Anfield have understandably stirred trepidation among the Old Trafford masses‚ still traumatised by the 7-0 hammering served up two seasons ago. But‚ in truth‚ the Red Devils have shown remarkable resilience since returning to Merseyside‚ holding their fierce rivals to draws on two occasions. And whilst there are plenty of issues to address for Ruben Amorim and his fabled 3-4-3 system‚ so too have questions been levelled at Slot's door.
Only one Manchester United star gets into a combined XI with Liverpool‚ according to Alan Shearer. Not even their talisman and captain Bruno Fernandes is afforded a space in the dream squad composed by the Premier League's all-time top scorer. It is a damning sign of how far the Red Devils have fallen as they prepare to travel to Anfield on Sunday for what used to be a tense watch.
